What other options do I have other then just canceling my flight with AA and booking a J class on JAL.

Thanks,

You can not use AAdvantage miles to upgrade on JAL. JAL often sells Y to PE upgrades at the airport if space is available.

JAL does not normally sell airport upgrades to higher classes.
